Sunfest 2009 has come and gone now but the fine Forest City summer festival fun continues. This time it’s one of this city’s oldest music traditions, the Home County Folk Festivalin downtown Victoria Park in London, Ontario.

This year organizers are inviting everyone to “Come Experience the Fusion” at London’s longest running FREE admission music festival. A summertime tradition for the past 35 years the festival brings together generations of music fans and performers whilst transforming the park into an exciting family celebration of music, dance and the arts. With over 132 performances, you’ll be energized by the fusion of sounds from regional, national and international talent in folk/rock, blues, bluegrass, Celtic and Acadian.

With an incredible line-up for 2009, professional artists and new styles of folk will be showcased at the park and at late night ticketed venues throughout downtown London. While at the park, take in the sounds and witness the dances that celebrate Canadian artistic roots. You can stroll between the performances and enjoy over 150 crafters and artisans while sampling a variety of foods. Come picnic with the family or visit the Small Folk Fun Area for a variety of free kids entertainment, games, crafts, music, and the Small Folk Fun Stage.

The festival runs from July 17 -19, 2009! I for one can’t wait for Elliot Brood; Always a concert highlight!

Sean - you make it to any of the shows? Cathie and I must have seen 5 hours of Joel Plaskett, 4 hours of Sadies and 5 hours of BROOD. The Saturday night show went to about 1:00 am and was the best time I've seen EB.

so, where were you? I tell yah, you and Maureen should get involved with the Aeolian.

I am a systems analyst who often longs to be doing something else. Not that working with computers all day is a bad thing; listening to music all day is just a far better thing. My passion for said music, film and family are constants that I devote a considerable part of my being to. I've also been known to enjoy a good concert or book. Best of all, I love to spend time with my extraordinary thirteen year old son, Jack.
